Non thirdgen but please help

My friend is working on a 94 Mustang (yeah I know) at the garage he works at and asked me to find a page for Mustang trouble codes. I've searched the internet for the last hour or so and as soon as it seemed like I found the right page for it that page was closed. He said the engine light was coming on. I know you can't pull the codes like on our cars but is there a page for the codes anywhere?

Yeah, the code is real simple, comes out as two number and a letter, as follows:

CODE: 11-A
COMPUTER IS SAYING: I'm a POS car
HOW TO FIX: Pack cylinders with C-4, step back a safe distance, detonate

CODE: 14-B
COMPUTER IS SAYING: I'm a POS car
HOW TO FIX: Pack cylinders with C-4, step back a safe distance, detonate

CODE: 72-H
COMPUTER IS SAYING: I'm a POS car
HOW TO FIX: Pack cylinders with C-4, step back a safe distance, detonate

CODE: 38-D
COMPUTER IS SAYING: I was owned by a girl you wish you had
HOW TO FIX: Sell the mustang, get an F-body, that's what women want

CODE: 42-R
COMPUTER IS SAYING: I'm a POS car
HOW TO FIX: Pack cylinders with C-4, step back a safe distance, detonate

CODE: 10-Z
COMPUTER IS SAYING: I'm a POS car
HOW TO FIX: Pack cylinders with C-4, step back a safe distance, detonate

Hope this helps!!!!

Get the codes and call a nice ford service dept and ask. I did that on my friends izuzu. The tech was polite and told me what the codes meant

Have you checked out (I don't want to put this link up, but) http://www.thecorral.net ? I think they had a diagnostic section in their tech area. I also seem to remember tech codes being in the Haynes Manual I bought to fix a friend's '88 Mustang...

How about doing like I do, sometimes.
Go to the local parts store, crack open the repair book for that model and read for your answer, put it back
I've been doing this to discover what size sockets I need to replace the oil pressure sensor switch at the oil filter housing on my 85 Firebird. And to be sure I can take the oil gauge sensor off my S-10 Blazer engine to use, so I need not spend any $$.
Those idiot light oil switches take a 26mm socket.
Gotta buy tools!
Tom, thanks for the Mustang site.
Those guys are cool , they respect Corvettes!
